Have you done some improv and are itching to do more?!  Always wanted to try but weren't sure how to?  Are you a natural performer or someone who wants to come out of their shell?  Improv has something for absolutely everyone.  BATS Improv is offering a workshop for the teens in September and October 2010.  In this class, teens will work together, learning improv principles, developing a final performance, and growing into an ensemble as they have fun, make friends and play on stage.

The classes will be held at the Bayfront Theater in Fort Mason Center.  This is an after school workshop and open to high school students. The workshop will have 8 classes followed by a performance on the last day. 

By playing theatre games and learning to take risks in a safe environment, improv students develop the ability to tell stories collaboratively and work in the moment while having a great time.

Improvisation is an excellent tool for improving verbal expression, enhancing listening skills, building body awareness, and boosting self-confidence.

All classes are held in a professional performing space--the 200-seat Bayfront Theater.

BATS' teen classes are very popular and often sell out; we strongly encourage you to register early!
